Thank you Jesus. My life is so incredibly blessed, the stressers I face are almost laughable. Almost, because while they seem small in comparison to the struggle of others, they sure press down hard upon me.Yesterday, I entered gift #6000 into my journal. That, itself, is a gift - to still be recognizing, recording those glimmers of heaven. Another day, month, year has been presented to me. I can appreciate it, if only I allow myself the time to meditate on that which surrounds me.
With the changes coming, both actual and anticipated, the temptation to become a malcontent will be great. The paradise I enjoy now isn't staying the same, and may well be ruined.
Praise the name of Yahweh. Job 1:21

Do you look at changes with dread or excitement?
What this past week have you been thankful for?
The Princess is 11? How did that happen?
ReplyDeleteI'm not good with change, but it happens, like it or not...
In the past, I have seemed to always face change with anxiety and fear, but God has really helped me to overcome that for the most part. We are praying about some life-changing decisions right now. If I let me mind go off on its own, I get anxious and worried. However, by focusing on God's sovereignty, I find that I am able to meet the prospective change with excitement and peace.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of change at all. I am about to read Bittersweet by Shauna Niequist, and her perspective on change seems to be very different (& much better) than mine. I am thankful for an afternoon with my baby girl! :)
